Excerpt from "Four by Four" concert. With Milton Fletcher- piano, Ron Mahdi-bass and Kendrick Scott-drums.

I thought this was pretty fantastic (just wish it was longer.)

- Nick Mancini: vibes
- Matt Clohesy: bass
- Take Toryama:drums

If you guys don't know yet Nick Mancini, you'd better change this now! My opinion is simple: very few vibists speak soooo clear to me. Word! That's quite amazing!

Tony says that theres stopper like things that go on the top of open post to close them in. Anyone know anything about them? If i were to buy them, i would need a lot! Does anyone know where i can get these?
